Hi!
During the race you can set one of your riders to "watch" someone's form. I have a few questions...
1. Is there any stat that matters when it comes to this?
2. Lets say that my rider has been following Vaitkus and have "seen his green bar". Will the stat of that br update itself for as long as I follow him?
3. Do you use this feature, and if yes; when? |

1. No.
2. As long as you're following him, it'll update itself.
3. Nope, can't really be bothered. |

I would occasionaly use it if it is clear that the race will be a two way battle, then it is nice to know how I am doing compared to them.

I THINK that if you watching someone and they attack, your rider will automatically counterattack and follow that rider but i'm not really sure about it... can anyone confirm that?

I mainly use it in cobbled classics in order to check how the favorites are doing, then I try either to counterattack the rider with the best daily condition, or I attack with my riders in order that he responds and gets tired after a few constant attacks, finally I hope my captain's attack will be enough strong and decisive to catch the glory. |

Quite the opposite, actually. You can't attack as long as you're observing a rider. |

Indeed, in the Aussi championship i was spying on Evans with Rogers. On one point Evans attacks, but guess what, i couldnt counterattack, had to wait quite some time for Rogers to be able to attack and by the time i could attack it was actually to late. |

You could have clicked on the "observation" icon to stop spying, and then counterattack :) |

To be precise: You will not be able to counter attack, even if you stop the observation immediately. |
